Dune will portray the ongoing battle to protect the natural salmon ecosystem and indigenous cultural landscape against an onslaught of corporate resource extraction. His mission is to preserve, restore and celebrate wild salmon culture and habitat through awareness, education and the promotion of sustainable livelihoods within the communities of the Copper River and Prince William Sound watersheds of Alaska. His work ensures that the salmon will continue to return to their birthplace and nurture the ecosystems of which they are a fundamentally important species. Essential to local economic sustainability is bioregional conservation, and his little corner of the world is a microcosm baseline model for the planet. This is one of the last wild places on planet earth where we still have a chance to get it right, by leaving it alone- wild and thriving.

The Bioneers Moving Image Festival presents a screening of ‘The House I Live In‘. Also presented by Grist.
In the past 40 years, the War on Drugs has accounted for 45 million arrests, made America the world’s largest jailer, and destroyed impoverished communities at home and abroad. Filmed in more than twenty states, The House I Live In tells the stories of individuals at all levels of America’s War on Drugs. From the dealer to the narcotics officer, the inmate to the federal judge, the film offers a penetrating look inside America’s criminal justice system, revealing the profound human rights implications of U.S. drug policy. Winner: Best Documentary at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. (106 minutes)
Panelists: Dr. Gabor Mate (The Realm of Hungry Ghosts), Ethan Nadelmann (Drug Policy Alliance), and Sarah Skenazy (Bioneers)

The Bioneers Moving Image Festival presents a screening of ‘Rock the Boat‘.
On July 25th, 2008, a dozen intrepid Angelenos took to their boats and kayaks and embarked on an ambitious and absurd mission to navigate the entire length of the LA River. Rock the Boat follows this controversial kayaking expedition down the cemented-in LA River, and looks at how the transformation of Los Angeles from a ‘dream city of endless possibility’ to the nightmare sprawl it is today arose from our habit of using, managing and re-imagining nature in a single-minded quest for more. (50 minutes)
Panelists: Director Thea Lucia Mercouffer with George Wolfe and Andy Lipkis, plus Shana Maziarz from the Wild and Scenic Film Festival
